What's the latest on Fluidblok grease?

[Gilly]

Can we still buy it? I heard it was dropped by BMW.
I have the low speed wobble going on, same problem I see there are a few threads on right now. I had the bearings replaced by a non BMW shop. They had NO idea what I was taling about when I mentioned Fluidblok. Later on they told me they found out it wasn't available, and that I had enough grease in there anyways. I didn't know if they opted to not buy it just to do my bike or what the situation really is.
At any rate I am going to try to set the preload, but still wonder if they told me the truth or not, and if it really isn't available if there are any options here.

It is no longer available from BMW. But some dealers may still have some in stock. I was able to locate two tubes by calling the four closest dealers to me.

Call your local dealers first, then try other dealers and maybe have them ship it to you if you are able to locate some.

The part number is: 07589058193 Lubricant Silicone 300 (10G)


I keep tellin' ya: IT"S NOT MY CAT!!!!

You can also use any heavy silicone grease such as that which the chemists use (made by DOW) for vacuum fittings.

The lab I work at we use a heave silicon grease called Stop Cock (really!) for
o-rings and fittings in vacuum and corrosive chemical applications. Think that
might work on my 22 yr old original grease K75? What's the worst that could happen?
Thanks for any input

It would seem that "something" must be better than nothing. Only potential problem I see if if it gets runny at high temps, I'd guess you'd want it to be still in a paste form at around 150 degrees F as a guess? If it gets drippy migh run down a fork leg and maybe ruin your brakes or front tire?

That's the stuff. It should be heavier than the consistancy of cold wheel bearing grease. The tube may say a number like 300 or 400. That's the stuff.
